Utility course

[Russell 350X]

Is there gonna be one at Trikefest this year?

there is a somewhat permanent utility course at Haspin (at least the past 2 years). this is used for ATV rodeo events (not associated with TF), and they leave it mostly intact.
my guess is if there is a competition, it will still be an unofficial event. the official events are jam packed as it is - especially when the rain messes with the schedule.
my biggest problem with the utility competion is that I get my BR all shined up for the trip, then we do mud pit / utility course on wednesday, and my trike is all mudded up before TF even really begins.
I know, I know, Waaaaaaaaaa.

Maybe we could hold the utillity comp during the rain or muddy time afterwards when the other events are postponed.

The only event I have seen postponed was the drags. Everything else gets ran, rain or shine.

Pretty much - but not always on time. The MX was postponed ~4hrs last year in order to get the track in rideable condition. Invariably the poker runs get set back an hour or 2 because we always get a downpour just as it is about to start. I have also seen Devil's Backbone rained out.

This will be TF #5 for me. The law of averages dictates that there will have to be a sunny Friday morning at some point.

Well let's hope that your hypothetical theory pan's out like that this year Keister,LOL..
